title: Antidiuretic effect of indapamide in central diabetes insipidus.
abstract: Indapamide produced a significant decrease in urinary output in three patients with central diabetes insipidus. The 24-h urinary volume was reduced from 5 to 2.3 l in a 39-year-old woman; from 11 to 4.3 l in a 30-year-old man, and from 16 to 9.2 l in a 40-year-old man receiving 2.5 mg of indapamide per day. To our knowledge, the antidiuretic effect of indapamide in central diabetes insipidus has not been reported previously.
